After the solution was precipitated with diethyl ether, P(FBSO-MPOSS21) was obtained as a powder that was insoluble in general organic solvents and swelled slightly in DMF and DMSO.

This process generates Brønsted/Lewis synergistic acid sites, significantly enhancing catalytic conversion of diethyl ether to ethylene and clarifying water's regulatory role in zeolite catalysis.
